avatarBernard Salomon2 years agoRhin in Mainz is wunderbare,i forgot the past between the Deutscher and our memories
avatarTobias Behringera year agoThe well-marked hiking trail runs along the Rhine, with plenty of places to stop for refreshments. The towns along the trail are perfectly connected by rail. I walked the trail in several stages. Each time, the scenery changes...the variety of colors in autumn is particularly beautiful, but each season has its own charm.
avatarStephan Dinges2 years agoOn the Rhine Terraces Trail between Mainz-Laubenheim and Bodenheim. Sections of it could be attributed to the ancient Rhine Valley Road. Parts of the B9 are also said to follow this ancient route. The Rhine Valley Road is one of the oldest roads in Europe. It can be imagined as a network of main and secondary roads stretching from the Alps to Mainz, always following the Rhine without getting too close to the marshy riverbanks. The first settled farmers may have come to Rheinhessen and Mainz via this route. Unfortunately, almost all of their traces have disappeared. Apart from a few standing stones in the Laubenheimer/Bodenheimer Ried, as well as in Nierstein, Nackenheim, and possibly Ludwigshöhe, not much remains. There are also striking stones in the Ebersheimer Hohl above Bodenheim. Probably not standing stones, but perhaps the remains of a Neolithic burial site. However, these stones were all moved. Graves along important roads are not uncommon. The most famous Neolithic graves in Rheinhessen come from Monsheim and were discovered and examined during clearing work in 1866. Because a large stone stood in the burial ground, the culture living there was given the name Hinkelsteiner.
